Chapter 11, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of D-Allose: Epimeric at C-3 should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. Anomers are the glycosides or cyclic monosaccharides that are epimers. These are different from each other in the configuration of C-1 (aldoses) or at C-2 if (ketoses).

BIOCHEMISTRY, Chapter 11, Problem 9P , additional homework tip  1

Explanation of Solution

When two sugars vary in their configuration around one carbon atom then those sugars are known as epimers of each other.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of D-Altrose: Isomeric at C-2 and C-3 should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. These are comprised of hydrogen and oxygen in a similar ratio as in water (2:1). They are usually broken down to release the energy in the animal body. These are of three types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

The structure of D-Altrose:

BIOCHEMISTRY, Chapter 11, Problem 9P , additional homework tip  3

Explanation of Solution

Glucose is an aldose as it contains one aldehyde group per molecule in its acyclic form. Mannose is a sugar of the hexose group. It occurs as a constituent of several natural polysaccharides.

Explanation of Solution

Anomers are the glycosides or cyclic monosaccharides that are epimers. These are different from each other in the configuration of C-1 (aldoses) or at C-2 if (ketoses). In a pair of anomers, the anomer containing the alkoxy group or hydroxy group is pointing up on the anomeric carbon is known as the ß-anomer.

Hair grows at a rate of about 20 cm/yr. All this growth is concentrated at the base of the hair fiber, where a-keratin filaments are synthesized inside living epidermal cells and assembled into ropelike structures.

Specific rotation is a measure of a solution's capacity to rotate circularly polarized light. The unfolding of the a helix of a polypeptide to a random conformation is accompanied by a large decrease in specific rotation. Polyglutamate, a polypeptide made up of only 1-Glu residues, has the a helix conformation at pH 3. When researchers raise the pH to 7, there is a large decrease in the specific rotation of the solution. Similarly, polylysine (1.-Lys residues) is an a helix at pH 10, but when researchers lower the pH to 7 the specific rotation also decreases, as shown in the graph. a Helix Specific rotation Poly(Glu) a Helix Random conformation Poly(Lys) Random conformation T + ° 2 4 6 В 10 12 14 PH Complete the statements about the molecular mechanism for these changes in specific rotation. Increasing the pH of a polyglutamate solution from 6 to 7 causes the carboxyl group of each glutamate residue Comed Artwer lose a proton. The negatively charged groups in each glutamate residue…
